34 Weeks – The Twins are Here!

The twins were born yesterday, July 3rd, at 10:20 and 10:27 in the morning.

We are all doing great. They have not needed any oxygen or feeding tubes. Our babies are amazing little girls.

We are still working on a name for one of our little ones.

Birth - Twins Baby A

Baby A weighed 3 pounds 3 ounces and was 17 inches.

Birth - Twins Baby B 1

Baby B weighed 5 pounds 5 ounces and was 18 3/4 inches.

I was able to deliver naturally and everything was perfect. It was my favorite delivery to date.

Having them in the NICU is very difficult. I wish I could just hold my girls all the time. But, I know it is where they need to be right now. McKenzie has been nursing great, we are working on “Little One”. I still cannot believe they are here, we are head over heals in love.

I will write a full birth story as soon as I can. Thank you again for all your love and support throughout my entire pregnancy. We appreciate all of you very much.

    Amazing, how times have changed. I was born 3 months early in 1980 and in those days, you couldn’t even touch,let alone hold the baby. Yay for better medical care and a mom’s healing touch! Mazel tov and all the best!

    Congratulations on your beautiful girls! I know from experience that having your babies in the NICU is tough! my twins were in there for a week and it was very emotional. My son and daughter are now 3 months and doing great. They were born at 4 lbs each and are now 8.5 and 9.5lbs! They certainly grow quickly! Congrats again and sending positive thoughts for a speedy NICU stay!

      Thank you. It is awful. I feel so empty. We are missing a part of our family. I am praying and hoping it is not for much longer. Thank you for the wonderful inspiration. I am so glad your babies are doing so well. 🙂

    How beautiful! Congratulations 🙂 I can’t wait to hear more about them (and their names!!). That is amazing to hear that there weren’t any complications and that they didn’t need any tubes. Awesome news!

    So beautiful – congratulations. I found your blog through Peas & Crayons.

    My daughter was also a 34 weeker – and spent 2 weeks in the NICU – it was so tough but you will be overjoyed when you bring them home.

      Thank you!!

      The NICU stay is awful. Sometimes I don’t even know what to do with myself. Yet I am so busy I can’t even think.

      Two weeks is what we are thinking, but I continue to hope and pray that maybe it will be sooner and hopefully not any longer.

      • Megan on said:

        I just browsed through and saw that both are home! Nearly brought tears to my eyes, because I remember how incredibly tough it is to leave your baby behind (in your case, two beautiful babies). Overjoyed that they’re all with you now 🙂

        • Renee on said:

          Thank you. It was the worst to leave without the girls. But now I can’t even remember not having them home with us. It is crazy how quickly everything changes. 🙂

    • Renee on said:

      Thank you!! I truly might be asking you tons of questions. Right now I am lonely and lost even though I am never alone and I have so much to do. It is a crazy feeling.
